In this dramatic adaptation by Jack Pulman (I, Claudius) of the classic Henry James novel, a damaged golden bowl reflects the truth in a hidden relationship and redirects the lives of all the characters into whose hands it has been placed.
“The Golden Bowl” was Henry James’ last full-length novel. The story revolves around three cosmopolitan Americans whose destinies intertwine in London–a rich widower, Adam Verver, his devoted daughter, Maggie, and Maggie’s girlfriend, Charlotte. Maggie marries an impoverished Italian aristocrat, and Adam marries Charlotte. Neither father nor daughter knows that their spouses had formerly been passionately in love with each other. The story is seen through the eyes of a character who assisted in bringing the couples together–Bob Assingham.
Set in England and in Italy during 1903 to 1906.
Shown on PBS Masterpiece Theatre.
